'To write a novel you must sit down and stay sitting. Unless you are a Hemingway and you stay standing. Or a Proust and you stay in bed.' Beryl Bainbridge (‘Waiting to Grow Up’, Review Saturday Guardian, 15.10.05) 'It can be said that one slip of point of view by a writer can hurt a story badly, and several slips can be fatal.' Sol Stein, Stein on Writing, St Martin's Press, 1995 'A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.' Virginia Woolf, 1882-1941, A Room of One's Own (1929)
